Plagiarism Policy
- Zero Tolerance for Plagiarism: All submitted manuscripts must be original and free from any form of plagiarism. Any instance of plagiarism, including self-plagiarism or verbatim copying without proper citation, will lead to immediate rejection or retraction of the paper.
- Mandatory Plagiarism Check: Every manuscript will be subjected to plagiarism detection software (such as Turnitin or iThenticate) before acceptance. A similarity index above 10-15% (excluding references and properly cited quotes) may be grounds for further review or rejection.
- Author Accountability and Consequences: Authors are solely responsible for the originality of their work. If plagiarism is detected after publication, the article may be retracted, and the authors may be blacklisted from future submissions.
